    It looks like it could be an Aquilegia or a Thalictrum.

    Aquilegia, the flowers are wrong for thalictrum. It's a garden plant

    Aquilegia and just about to flower, so let it do that and keep the ones you like most.  It readily self-seeds if you decide you like it.  image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
